It has been damn near almost 4 years since Sera Gamble and John MacNamara showed their entire ass and justified the suicidality of their canonically bisexual male lead as “noble” and I am still so emotionally devastated by it that even the thought of The Magicians is enough to bring me to my knees.
And the most infuriating thing is that Quentin on paper should not have been likeable. At. All. He was written to be the same self insert main character that has been churned out for fanboys for literal decades now. But Jason Ralph *made* him likeable. There’s no doubt in my mind that The Magicians was only ever successful because the actors that were cast actually gave a shit about their characters unlike the writers.
Every single one of the main cast and the supporting cast felt like real people who were relatable in their struggle as specifically millennial protagonists. The Magicians is the only show I’ve seen in recent memory that actually acknowledges the difficulties our generation deals with in an even slightly compassionate way.
But what they did to Quentin was unforgivable and I am genuinely glad it was cancelled a season after because you cannot kill off the heart of your show especially after he finally comes to terms with his queerness and expect people to give a shit anymore. For a show that in so many ways was ground breaking for the sci-if/fantasy/magical realism genre, to say nothing of how the show propelled Syfy itself, the ending it gave Quentin shows that the writers somehow missed the entire point of the character they wrote and the story he was trying to tell and I mourn him.

endless love for the moment in Thirty-Nine Graves where Penny goes from the guy who does not want to be a part of the group project to the guy who is suddenly in charge of the group project because everyone else is in a state of heaving emotional turmoil, and he doesn't know why
